In
Aeternum is a Swedish death metal band, that always dishes out
a soul-destroying punishment. Since blasting on the metal scene in
1992, this trio have put out a couple demos, a MCD, and their last
album "Forever Blasphemy." "The Pestilent Plague"
is the latest opus by these metal mongers, and it is also their best
effort. This CD was recorded at Abyss Studios, home of the Tagtgren
brothers for a great production quality. In Aeternum was also lucky
enough to have Kristian "Necrolord" Wahlin to do the cover
art of this CD. "Necrolord" has done previous work for such
bands as Mercyful Fate, Emperor and At The Gates. "The Pestilent
Plague" has definitely put a lasting impression on me. Everytime
I listen to it, I like more and more. Every song on this CD has a
big presence on this CD, all of the songs are well written. I see
myself changing my favorite songs everytime I listen to it. But three
tracks that have stay constant as my favorites since the very first
time I listened to this CD are "Torture Chamber," "Demon
Possession," and "Wolves Blood." Their sound is of
a blackend death metal, but mainly death. Bands that come to mind
that remind me of them are Amon Amarth and Angelcorpse. That should
give you a good understanding what these guys have in store, a definite
blasphemous time. Rating: 80 |
